HSR 286 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Jill, you say, musical ability tends to run in families, the best impression I get, you are talking genetics? Iv'e read many a autobiography, and exposure and opportunity appear to dismiss that theory.. Gaining an influence or teacher at an early age, when practice would be less of a chore appears crucial! Only instrument at my school was a recorder! Did have some piano lessons, payed for by Gran when about 7. Actually proved useful! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,721 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Yes. I'm aware of all three, but only Robert Johnson has made much impact on me. And I did say 'some'. Try to keep up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 286 Posted May 9, 2021 Report Share Posted May 9, 2021 Quite a few of the 'older' blues players Oz. The two that immediately come to mind are Albert King and Otis Rush. On a modern theme, the Amazing Eric Gales, still have tickets to see him, now over a year old!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Willow wilson 894 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I listen to "Always" and I'm thinking of fabulous Mrs WW, from happy courting days to the sweetest honeymoon, through all the years, all the sunsets, all the sunrises, all the hard times, near disasters, great times, son off to uni, daughter's marriage to a good man, all the travels in cars, boats, planes, all the beaches and all the playing in the sea with the children, all the playing by the sea with grandchildren, tears and laughter. Life's tapestry. Sitting in the garden sharing a drink with my wife in the slow dusk of a spring evening, the quietness conveying a myriad unspoken feelings between us. When I was an uninspired 24yo I could never have dreamt anything like this, she gave me the dream and made it real. Last month we celebrated our wedding anniversary. It's a fairly big number. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 Quite poetic WW., near brought a tear to me eye. When I think of my wife, I had 25 happy years......and then we met ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 No @DJ360it was the far superior King Kenny version, find the Drifters effort bit drab Bit of new music, I would jumped on these @ The Bodega or upstairs @ Rough Trade early doors if it want for lockdown, The Clockworks they will be massive, just waiting for their first album.

The rhythm player learn to play right-handed. Regards, Will2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
